A page to share random musings... an odd butterfly fluttering around.. a rare bloom to talk about... my next trip to plan... and yes, the new maid has joined!
A page belonging to an author, a traveller, a compulsive decision maker of late... do keep dropping in to catch up on some gupp-shupp with me and do be prepared to put up with some anaap-shnaap rantings too :D

For a dear friend who is a stone art expert.This photo was taken at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery in Boulogne, near Calais in France.

I had gone there to visit and pay my homage to 318 Indian and Nepalese soldiers and non-combatants who died around that area defending France during the World War-I. They lie buried/commemorated in the Meerut Military Cemetery in Boulogne St. James waiting for over a hundred years for their fellow Indians to come and visit them.

Sadly, the people of that French town, where this cemetery is located do not remember the sacrifices made by these brave Indians.

My book on Indian & Nepalese brave hearts of Meerut Military Cemetery, Boulogne St. James, France. is coming out shortly.
